To celebrate the fourth anniversary of the One Piece Trading Card Game, BANDAI has officially unveiled the Fourth Anniversary Commemorative Set. Japanese design and art collective GOO CHOKI PAR was commissioned to create a new visual identity, bringing a unified design language across the cards and accessories.

GOO CHOKI PAR was formed in 2015 by graphic designers Rei Ishi, Kent Iitaka, and Q Asaba, and has previously worked on projects for Nike, Apple, Netflix, and the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics. For this collaboration, the collective’s signature visual style has been applied to specially designed anniversary cards. The featured characters include Luffy, Shanks, Mihawk, Edward Newgate, Vivi, Enel, Nami, and Borsalino (Kizaru). Each card incorporates GOO CHOKI PAR’s distinctive anniversary art style, setting them apart from regular booster pack illustrations.

Beyond the limited-edition cards, the set includes a 70‑card sleeve pack for protecting a full competitive deck, along with a matching playmat and card storage box—extending the anniversary visuals into a complete tabletop experience. The Simplified Chinese version additionally includes 10 fourth‑anniversary DON!! cards, featuring a Mainland China‑exclusive parallel alternate‑art edition, each with a unique commemorative serial number on the card face.

The Japanese edition is priced at ¥18,700 (tax included), with the Premium Bandai lottery period running from August 3, 11:00 AM, to September 2, 11:00 PM. The Simplified Chinese version is priced at RMB 580 per set, with 3,000 sets available during the general sales phase, limited to 2 sets per customer. Shipment for the Japanese market is expected in February 2027, while the Simplified Chinese version is scheduled for delivery in March 2027. Following the third‑anniversary set, which saw secondary market prices surge by over six times, this fourth‑anniversary commemorative set is poised to become one of the most anticipated releases of the year for OPCG players and collectors alike.
